Death Grips Share NSFW Album Cover, Tracklist

"You have an androgynous masochist on the leash of a feminist sadist who's smoking. The sadist has carved Death Grips into her bitch's chest."

On April 24, the aggressive Sacramento punk-rap group Death Grips will release a new record, The Money Store, and they've now shared the tracklisting and cover art.

The album art, above, is a "subtly modified" version of an illustration that originally appeared in a zine by the Chicago-based artist Sua Yoo. Death Grips explain:

On the cover you have an androgynous masochist on the leash of a feminist sadist who's smoking. The sadist has carved Death Grips into her bitch's chest. There is an overly confident quality to the woman smoking and a calmness to the androgynous masochist.

The group wanted a cover with "the same progressive and edge ideology" that inspires their music, with hopes of representing their "views on sexuality and modern society." They elaborated:

We consider ourselves feminists, we fiercely support homosexuality, transparent world leadership, and the idea of embracing yourself as an individual in any shape or form. Acceleration is a mantra, we're not a political band, we are freaks and outsiders. It was important to project that message and energy through the artwork of this album. This is free thinking and eternally open-ended music… [The cover] is like an ambassador to the sound.

The band's second 2012 album, NO LOVE, will be out this fall. They say they'll be touring and playing often, with a focus on "visual and conceptual expansion within our live sets" and "experimenting with a lot of new things in video, sound, and general creative concepts."
